Obama: 'I Don't Think About Palin'
The Hill reports:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may be one of the most powerful forces within her own party, but President Obama said Tuesday he doesn't give her any thought.
The president told Barbara Walters in an interview set to air Friday that he hasn't even considered a potential 2012 matchup with Palin.
In response to the question of whether he could defeat Palin should she win the GOP nomination in two years, Obama said flatly, "I don't think about Sarah Palin."
"Obviously Sarah Palin has a strong base of support in the Republican Party and I respect those skills," said Obama. "But I spend most of my time right now on how I can be the best possible president. And my attitude has always been, from the day I started this job that if I do a good job and if I'm delivering for the American people the politics will take care of itself."
It was in an interview with Walters last week that Palin said she could defeat Obama in 2012.
